{Killshot} Who Wants Beef? Eminem vs MGK 

Who won? Who lost? Don't let me sway your decision. I'm just another Eminem fan. Don't shoot the messenger. #Killshot

This will probably be the only post of this kind on this blog. This will be raw & unfiltered. The only edits will be grammatical. However, everyone is asking my opinion on this and I really wasn't trying to touch base on it because everyone is doing the same thing; jumping on the bandwagon of the MGK v Eminem beef. Well, you wanted my input; here it is:

So, Eminem just released his clapback to Machine Gun Kelly's diss, "Rap Devil". I want to come off as neutral as possible, but you all know that's not gonna happen, right? I'm only posting one video here. We've all seen the MGK diss video for his apparent suicide by a candy-named related artist. And everyone who is a fan of the old Em versus the new Em, well people consider him "new" I just consider him as a sleeper trying to wake the game up because he's called out talent before, which is why we now have a Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole collaboration to look forward to in the near future but no one will admit to that...will they?

Okay, so onward to the response to MGK's diss track, Eminem releases "Killshot" today; a few hours ago, MGK was pronounced DOA. His career...or what was left of it...has finally been stowed away for the 90s babies to ponder over. Where was MGK before he heard his name in a line of the number one album in the country? What was he doing exactly? Probably perfecting his "man bun", as Eminem so eloquently points out in his response. Do you guys really want to hear me rant? Or would you rather just listen to it? I'm going to let you listen to it. Then you can comment your thoughts below the post.


Now...does anyone remember the movie? Killshot? With Mickey Rourke & Diane Lane? No? Well, let me drop this bomb for you...directed by John Madden, Rourke plays the role of an assassin who, along with his partner, pursue a couple -played by Diane Lane & Thomas Jane- who just happen to stumble across an extortion scheme. They enter into the WPP & still believe the government is no match for the relentless assassins.

Now allow me to tie up the loose strings: MGK saw his chance to gain a short 15-minutes off of a guaranteed name (the extortion). Some so-called fans & those that don't know Eminem before the 2000's, (aka the couple) witness the scheme & go into hiding because they don't think Eminem has it in him to not only respond but to DEFEAT MGK at any cost.

Well, Em is Rourke. And he's relentless. #KILLSHOT bitches & he's got you in his scope...GOAT?! Drop your comments below!

{ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: INTERVIEW} RJ Griffith | @rjgmusic

Artist Spotlight: Interview

RJ Griffith

May 22nd marked the very first of many Artist Spotlight interviews on the Rise and Shine with Rae radio show on Platinum Radio. I've been doing interviews on The Underground Artistry for a while now; ever since I accepted the position on Platinum Radio as their morning show host, I've been anxious to start incorporating interviews on my very own show.

And everyone who knows me knows I love good music & good vibes. And when the music encompasses the latter, it's even better. Well, below you'll find the interview I had with RJ Griffith, an inspirational R&B artist coming out of Chicago, IL! I was so excited for this interview because his music is so different. It's on another level from what's on the radio nowadays.

I wanted to make this interview available to my readers who may not have had the luxury of tuning into the show to catch the interview. I will allow you guys to listen to it yourself below. The interview is followed by his single, Good Day. I hope you guys enjoy this artist as much as I did because he was so candid; it was like talking to a friend.

You can find his song Good Day on iTunes, Amazon & other streaming sites like Spotify. And now you can call 616.841.5253 to request his song on Platinum Radio! [And be sure to tune into the Rise and Shine with Rae morning show every Monday through Friday from 8am to 12pm EST.]

Press play below & let me know what you think about the song in the comments.

{ NEW MUSIC } No Tears Left to Cry by @ArianaGrande

 Ariana Grande: No Tears Left to Cry

To all the Ariana fans out there, she's baaaaack!!! And not to mention, she came back in a major way with a major hit--or at least, those are my thoughts.

No Tears Left to Cry is her first single since the Manchester attack May 22, 2017. Reportedly there were 500 injured and 22 actually killed. Reports stated Ariana 'cried for days'. And I can't go on without first noting her phenomenal philanthropy as she hosted the One Love Manchester benefit concert on June 4, 2017 with other stars like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber & others. Tickets sold out within 6 days of the event notifications and all proceeds went to the families of the victims.

The last song performed was her single, One Last Time, & the entire crowd was moved to tears. Even Ari was crying by the end of the performance. Raising over $13 million in proceeds, I'd say the mission was accomplished. Either way, I'd like to take a moment to recognize those effected & give my deepest condolences to the victims & their families.

Moving onward, apparently she has 'no tears left to cry' and I, for one, am extremely excited for her & her upcoming album. Actual release date isn't noted; but, nonetheless, she still graced us with the first single from the new album and I am IN LOVE with it.

No Tears Left to Cry starts off as if she's about to give us a ballad and then the beat drops & it turns into the pop sound we're used to hearing from her as in the songs The Way, Side to Side & Love Me Harder. 

Not to mention, this new album is produced by none other than Pharrell & Max Martin. Martin has worked with artists like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, and many, many more. And Pharrell, well...I don't think there's a need for an intro. 

Keeping it going, this song debuted on 4/20 & has over 20 million views on YouTube so far. The video is #8 on the YouTube trending list. I think it's safe to say she's made a major comeback with this song. There's numerous reaction videos to this single & the results are all the same: everyone loves it.

And let me just say this about the video...it's a masterpiece. The effects are like those from a movie with Ari seemingly defying gravity and walking on ceilings to falling from the top of a building to her literally taking off her face. It's almost as if she's saying she's tired of the tears & the pain and is ready to start anew. And I completely agree with her. But you can view the video below & come to your own conclusions. And be sure to support Ari & get her new song from iTunes here & from Amazon here. 

If you're feeling this song, drop your comments below to let me know what you think. Also, let me know what you think about the video. The effects? How cool are they? Let me know in the comments & I'd love to hear if you enjoyed the song, if you're looking forward to her 4th album, which doesn't have an official release date, yet, but I will let you know when it does!

As always, thanks for visiting, reading, supporting. I love you guys & I hope you enjoyed the content.

Until next time...
